If gambling is for fun then trading is not for fun because the trader is looking for money that's why he's trading Bitcoin, I don't really know about Bitcoin trading but I not little about gambling because we do gamble ines in a while anf i love gambling too. I normally gamble for money and not for fun and I don't put in mind that gambling is for fun not until I find my self here, but for me I gamble for the money and not for the fun so it's cool to gamble and not to trade BTC, however the both of them are rising but trading is more risker than gambling, at least a bet have its time for it to end but trading does not have time to end, it your money can lose just in a seconds and that's why makes it so frustrating.

LE as I am reading the replies
Maybe thrilling was more appropriate than entertaining so feel free to use that!
As it seems I'm the only one betting on horse racing around here we need a bit of intro for this
So, two races out of 4 done by 12:18 GMT time and both horses I was backing, favorites, Hunters Yarn and Kourosh dropped their jockeys at the last hurdle, the first did it while being in the lead by 10 lengths, the second when battling for the first place, lost a bit on them and probably more to come as I'm 1 out of 5 bets right now but I didn't feel any remorse or regret or anything like this, moreover I feel really good because I saw some really entertaining races with a change in the last moment.
On the other hand, whenever I trade even if it's just small, really small positions and I lose a few $ I feel bad, I always tell to myself why I even bother to do it.
So hear me out:
With gambling, you chose on who to bet when to bet , once you do you you wait for the outcome at a fixed time!
With trading you chose your pair coins, you have to wait for the price to reach what you think it's an entry point and then set limits , watch the damn numbers even for days, even if you cash out in profit there can always be a regret you haven't kept the position opened.
Three is little that can influence a sport event outside of what you know, with coins it just takes a stupid hack or some gov going bananas on crypto out of nowhere while you sleep and you have your house full of trading alarms like you're in a police raid.
TA analysis is just Timeform, there is no difference between them , they show something that happened in the past with a coin and the form of a horse , in both cases you're looking at past performance and trying to figure the outcome.
I can't find numbers on the screen entertaining, if somebody tells me numbers and lines are more entertaining that this, I think there is something wrong with you!
So prove me wrong (if you think I am), what am I missing?
Trading is never been relaxing on which you would really be needing to be dead serious if you do want to succeed into this industry. We do know that when it comes to leisure time then nothing beats out gamblingMaybe thrilling was more appropriate than entertaining so feel free to use that!

but of course when we do speak about gambling and trading then we would really be able to differentiate in between the risks involved and you could be able to determine on which thing is really just that for fun
comparing into those who are really that doing some serious business.
When it comes to gambling then it would really be giving out that kind of adrenaline rush which is something that wont really be able to give out when you are doing trading.
You would really be definitely be able to gain those thrills and excitements on the time that you would really be dealing up with gambling.
This is why there would really be that significant differences in between things considering that they do have that different purpose in the first place.

While both trading and gambling involves money and some levels of prediction, trading cannot be said to be a fun activity, in fact trading is business and the traders involved must be careful so as not to lose money. Gambling for some people can be a big deal, a business. Just like in trading, gamblers who gamble for the money are willing to risk huge amount of money so as to have higher chances of getting huge winnings. To many others, it is merely for fun and nothing else. A person can decide to use his spare time to gamble and with amounts he can afford to lose. Or he goes out with friends to Casinos or they use online gambling sites to gamble and have fun and on strict budgets (amounts they can afford to risk). Gambling can be both entertaining and business depending on the Gambler involved. Both gambling and trading involves some levels of suspense, this particular aspect does not make them relaxing.

yes it is clear that for entertainment , gambling is better than trading. but what is the main purpose of trading just for entertainment is of course not because the main purpose of trading is investment to increase income for this one thing, of course trading is better. although basically the same high risk.
December 18, 2023, 01:16:29 PM
We absolutely agree with you!We think that gambling has many advantages over trading are: fun, pretty predictable, and strong community.
December 18, 2023, 01:04:53 PM
I can agree with you on the entertaining part but I'm not sure about the relaxing part. It is more entertaining than trading because it is really so much fun to watch the game you bet on later. You are excitedly waiting for seeing whether your bet will win or not. Your bet doubles the excitement in the meantime which means it isn't very relaxing for me.
Because if your bet is still active in the final minutes of a game you get more worried and uncomfortable. It becomes extra exciting to follow those minutes before full time.
But nothing is more relaxing than getting a last minute goal for your bet to win in those minutes on one hand.
So there is actually some relaxing part in it also, yeah.

For me it is thrilling and entertaining it was never been relaxing since it makes me excited.
There are times that it would relieve my stress, or would make me feel better.
Gambling was a form of entertainment for me, it is like online games but more thrilling and excitement due to money being involve.

I don't know about relaxing but I do agree that gabling is more entertaining than trading because you don't need to take gambling seriously unlike with trading where you need to put your game face on because you're playing with your money and a slight change is an opportunity for you to earn a profit so you can't afford to be dilly dally. Also, it's really hard to compare these two because gambling and trading is so different from one another and even if they say it's just like gambling, it's still isn't the same to me.
This is what I'm going to say. For me, gambling is more interesting and entertaining than trading but I can't say that this is more relaxing because both of them requires money. I can say that gambling gives us more positive vibes because of their visuals and type of game unlike on trading that focuses in more serious visuals that's why many people says gambling can give them relaxation and entertainment even if both of them requires money that has no guarantee of winning and losses.
On the other hand maybe I would say that gambling will really give you an entertaining positive impact if you come and engage with the right approach, because of course whether it's in trading or gambling all of that I think depends on the approach of each individual in terms of whether or not they will be able to benefit from both activities, for those who always overdo it and come without planning I think there will be absolutely no positive benefits that they will feel but a lot of pressure.

It might just be me but perpetual futures are also entertaining.
Relaxing though? Ugh. I think this sounds a bit out of place.
Whatever brings thrill to the player is also causing a bit of stress, therefore inhibiting the exact opposite bodily me mechanisms of getting relaxed. Both gambling and trading will probably have better results if you remain vigilant instead of relaxing.
If someone wants to relax and do something laid back they better just watch a sports match without having bet anything, just for the fun of it.

The stress and anxiety that you will feel in either gambling or trading would probably depend on two things. The size of the bet and the length of time the bet hanging in the balance. How long is a basketball game? If you place a $10,000 bet on a basketball game and your team is behind by 20 points, you will definitely NOT be relaxed and entertained. It will be the same feeling if you made a $10,000 trade in a very volatile shitcoin that fell -50% in the same duration of time as a basketball game.
Counter!
When the game is over is over, you lost and you move on, nothing is changing this.
If you get your leverage trade closed because of a 50% dump the pain is not over yet, you might wake up tomorrow and see the coin up by 1000%, which might make you redecorate the walls with your head once more.
That means the stess and anxiety is there as long as the trade or the bet is open. Therefore they're both stressful, and not one of them is more relaxing and entertaining as long as they're both "in action"?
Quote
And no, before you even say it, if we bring just hodl in the discussion that's no longer trading, buying something at 50$ and waiting for years to reach 100$ is long term investing not trading.
HODL Bitcoin, although it could also be sometimes stressful, is definitely less stressful than active shitcoin day-trading and casino gambling. I can sleep knowing that there's always a next cycle.

And a small update on the OP:
Yesterday, as I said, Hunters Yarn felt at the last hurdle while in the lead, jockey Townend, trainer W P Mullins, owner Simon Munir & Isaac Souede, favorite at 1/3.
Today...
FUN FUN FUN, Jockey Townend, trainer W P Mullins, owner Simon Munir & Isaac Souede, favorite at 2/5
Anyone can guess what the f***er did at exactly the last hurdle?

I gamble to have just fun.
I do not trade to have fun but to make money. Although I also use small amount of money to trade, just like gambling but a little bit more higher.
If asking which one is more entertaining, trading is not entertaining but exhausting.
+1 on this one. Trading sometimes gave us stress and headaches gambling only gave us chilling sensation when we lose. Speculation and technical analysis is not that easy unlike gambling where we only think of having fun. They were two different things for me like one is for fun and the other is for income. I do not trade to have fun but to make money. Although I also use small amount of money to trade, just like gambling but a little bit more higher.

Sorry, I will comment on this, I have a different view where trading and gambling cannot be equated and compared because the domains are different. I believe that trading is complicated and requires patience and analysis to make a profit. And it tends to be legal in all countries, in contrast to gambling which in fact seems to be looking for fun instead of making money through betting. And I'm sure many people can do it compared to trading. Apart from that, not all countries legalize gambling, let alone Muslim countries.

I can agree with you. Gambling is more fun and entertaining compared to trading. Even though these two things are both related to "betting" your money, I can say that these two things are different. Trading requires analysis and what you do is ensure that your analysis is in accordance with what is in the market. When your analysis is wrong, you can do a stop loss to get out of the market, there's no fun.
Meanwhile, when gambling, you are gambling your money either on a match or game. In this process, players enjoy the excitement of graphics, music, jackpots, bonuses, vibes, etc., which makes gambling even more exciting for players.

If we judge it from a "money" perspective, both of them are risking money for profit, but if we judge it from the real way they work, they are both different.
trading is always closer to seeking daily, weekly or even monthly profits, not to seeking entertainment or pleasure. so in trading, many people say that they are often tense and stressed because the fear of coin prices going down makes people's minds tense.
the concept is different from gambling which is closer to entertainment or fun, even though you can both get money, but the main way of working is for entertainment and even though it causes tension and sometimes makes you stressed, you can get treatment from the feeling of joy when you win and also look at the animated graphics. Images that can have a comfortable impact on gamblers so that tension and stress do not last long, but it all depends on each person's mindset.
for me, trading and gambling are still pros and cons because everyone has a different point of view and for someone who is very happy with trading, they will definitely say that trading is also fun, but gamblers think that trading does not provide pleasure and it is more fun to gamble while earning money. the advantage is that in sports betting we simply place a bet and then watch the match take place, which gives a very interesting sensation and is also accompanied by a feeling of joy when we win.

I have been trading futures for a long time but it does exactly like gambling in my opinion so Prove me wrong: Gambling is both more relaxing and entertaining than trading gambling is more relaxing ane has less tense in my opinion than trade but gambling like the crash game is the same as trading but still fun hahaha.
When I open the position I just look at the chart draw some shit and open and hope the price goes like toward my direction but sometimes it doesn't and my heart beats fast whether my position is loss or win.

First of all, I don't know much about trading, I don't know that learning about trading takes a lot of time and that is something that has to be very delicate because it can have a lot of theory, and I hardly have time to learn something like that, I do. What I do is read articles from traders who are famous, from people who have been in the market for years and who give their opinion, many of them post their analysis and I could learn something from there, but there are many things, I don't know what they are. the best of the prediction tools because there are many, and I couldn't decide.
The casino is not trading, and the trading is not the casino, I am not Going to start trading by guessing as if I were playing in a slots, and the slots are pure luck and that is like a lottery, for me the casino seems perfect because I know it's luck, you don't have to think much, in trading you have to think a lot, consider many things that happen in the world, it's like a lot of Information.
Learning to trade takes a lot of time until you really understand it, and many cannot go through the process because the changes in the crypto market occur more frequently. They have a lot to learn as if it is a never-ending journey, which causes many people to experience boredom in learning to trade. But if they keep learning to change because they want to make a profit, they will see the results in a certain time, making them even more active in learning.The casino is not trading, and the trading is not the casino, I am not Going to start trading by guessing as if I were playing in a slots, and the slots are pure luck and that is like a lottery, for me the casino seems perfect because I know it's luck, you don't have to think much, in trading you have to think a lot, consider many things that happen in the world, it's like a lot of Information.
Meanwhile, gambling is an entertainment that you don't need to be too serious about learning unless you really want to make money from gambling. But it won't be easy because you will still have to learn the things needed to play gambling. If you want to place bets on sports betting, you must have analytical skills. And if you want to make money from card games, you must study them until you really understand them.

You would really be needing to be delicate or else you would really be just simply be making yourself money blown away on just simply nitpicking whether the price would be going up or down.The casino is not trading, and the trading is not the casino, I am not Going to start trading by guessing as if I were playing in a slots, and the slots are pure luck and that is like a lottery, for me the casino seems perfect because I know it's luck, you don't have to think much, in trading you have to think a lot, consider many things that happen in the world, it's like a lot of Information.
Simply means that trading does really need up that serious approach rather than on not because its never been that enjoyable or entertaining but rather this is a serious business or dealing
which it would really be that totally different when you do gamble on which it would really be just that right that you should really be that having that different kind of approach when dealing up
with things. You would eventually finding out for yourself on which one is entertaining and which is needing that serious thing or approch.
